The spirit of giving is alive at the St. Francis Center all year long, but during the holidays, hard working clients receive something beyond the necessities. Well before dawn on two days in December, parents wait outside the Center for the Toy Giveaway program to begin. A volunteer assists each mother or father in choosing two new toys or age appropriate gifts for each of their children. Individuals, area churches and other local programs donate 5,000 new toys annually to our program.
